Behind the Baubles: Ben-Amun

December 15, 2015 by jessica

When it comes to America’s most iconic jewelry designers, it’s impossible to overlook Isaac Manevitz’s illustrious career creating the Ben-Amun collection in New York for over 30 years. In the early ’80s, Isaac pioneered the statement jewelry movement, kicking off a robust career that would land his work in top fashion publications, on runways, and on prominent A-listers, including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. These crowning achievements are perhaps no surprise given the Cairo native’s family history in jewelry design. He’s the son of the jeweler to the Egyptian royal court. Isaac draws on his heritage for inspiration, along with his passion for travel and history to create stunning works of wearable art.
